Menopause

Naturopathic Treatments for Menopause

Menopause refers to the time in a women's life where her period stops because of decreases in estrogen levels. Once a women has not had a period for 12 months, it will be determined that she is "menopausal" however, the symptoms of menopause may present while periods are still present. Estrogen is the reproductive hormone that promotes the building of uterine lining and once estrogen levels decline, the there is no need for the body to menstrate excess lining. While most women go through menopause in their 50's (although this process can happen earlier), it would be safe to say that no two women will experience menopause the same way. Some women are lucky and their period stops without any inconvenience however, the majority of women will experience some type of symptom presentation. The symptoms of menopause may include hot flashes, sleep disturbances, irritability or anxiety, fatigue, changes to sex drive, urinary frequency and memory loss. In addition to its effects on the uterine lining, estrogen also maintains the lubrication and elasticity of tissues in the body that women like to remain lubricated and elastic. The most talked about symptom in menopause with respect to lubrication issues is vaginal dryness however, women may also experience dry eyes, aching joints, sagging skin or bladder issues.
